president obama and benjamin netanyahu. they finally did talk yesterday. the president picked up the phone and talked to him two days after his election victory. the last time he had to wait five days for a phone call. there they did talk. we don't have details on how it went. we do know this, netanyahu did sit down with megyn kelly and speak yesterday and started to clarify a little bit what he was talking about in the final days of the election when it came to the two state solution and more. i was amazed at the reaction from the administration. they are breaking up and spanking our chief ally. it's like we're breaking up with canada. telling england to go jump in a lake. because we don't like the way the election went we're saying to benjamin netanyahu we just might to change the way we view each other. >> because you changed. you now don't support this two state solution in the way you mentioned before. now we'll change at least what

the white house press secretary put forward yesterday. that call between president and netanyahu is lukewarm. with megyn kelly it seemed to be warmer in fact. watch. >> i think president obama has said time and time again as i've said the only path to a peace agreement is an agreement, a negotiated agreement. you can't impose it. in any case you have to get the international community to press on the palestinians to go back on their unity pack with the terrorists pack with hamas and come back to the table. you can't for the people of israel to bring them peace and security, to secure the state of israel to accept terms that would endanger the very survival of the state of israel. >> mr. netanyahu did sound like he was backing up what he said a couple of days earlier. essentially he's accurate. it was campaign talk. he was saying right now peace is not possible. one of the things the president did say to mr. netanyahu yesterday on the phone was, you

know what? we'll reassess our situation you because you talked about you know there can't be any two state solution between you and palestine. we don't like that. if that were to go through at the united nations what that means israel has to give up the west bank. west bank filled with palestinians reallies are fearful they would start shooting rockets at them. charles krauthammer was on last night and said no government in israel would ever hand over the west bank if that's what the president wants it ain't going to happen. >> the fact is that netanyahu said even in the outlying statement there won't be a palestinian statement while i'm prime minister. i have news for the white house there won't be a palestinian state wouldn't even been if herzog won. there's no government in israel that would hand over the west bank to a government that

includes hamas. >> of course not. >> it's difficult for the u.s. to keep opposing palestinian statehood at the united nations essentially saying you're on your own. by the way, it's unbelievable. i never thought we would be saying this in our lifetime. maybe some extreme candidate maybe at some point on the stump or running for the nomination down the line talking anti-israel but for the president to say this, for josh earnest to reiterate it off a campaign speech is unthinkable. >> when you listen to the prime minister, beennjamin netanyahu say his job is to keep the israeli state safe. you have to wonder. if this deal with iran is bad for our closest ally in the region is it good for us? the president answered that. he then goes and talks to iran and makes a statement there

indicating that this is not an obstacle this is a great opportunity to change the landscape moving forward with iran. >> he was sending the people of aaron message for their new year and said it's the best time in decades to have a better relationship. sure sounds like he wants to cut a deal. >> we should pressure your leaders. >> remember the last time? how did that go? >> let's go to upstate new york pine state student body had a great idea. it was foreign language week and to celebrate they had a different language every day. he asked a muslim student whether or not she would recite the pledge in arabic. so essentially what she said was one nation under allah. the students heard that. could not believe it. and became split right down the middle. some thought it was good. half thought it was bad. some of the relatives had died

in 9/11. >> and some had fought in afghanistan in the region and were very upset. this is a sound from some of the students upset with the pledge in arabic. >> soldiers fight for that pledge to be said in english so i think it should be said in english. >> everything that happened was between our country and them and then we're saying our country's pledge in their language. >> i didn't stand up and they told me i was disrespectful and i said they should speak it in english. >> watching the news and stuff i know there's people sacrificing, you know their lives, you know. making the ultimate sacrifice just so we can say those words in english. designee said i knew it would be unpopular. he told mtv news i knew exactly what would happen and i felt it was the right thing to do. >> he said he would do it again. >> he's not going to get to because they banned him from doing announcements for the rest of the year. the principalized and the school put out this statement. the intention was to promote the

fact that those who speak a language other than english still pledge to support this country. don't worry they are not going to do it in any other language this year. what do you think? e-mail us. facebook us. tweet us. or please keep it in english, those because for the most part that's the language we're most fluent in. >> we showed you this yesterday. sportscaster steven a.smith bold statement about the black vote. >> what i dream is that for one election, just one, every black person in america vote republican. >> so does he have a point, a fair and balanced debate on that next. >> you want to fly faster? all you have to do is be a convicted felon with ties to a terror group. the very troubling report straight ahead. felons fly faster. ♪ because you're mine i walk the line ♪

black folks in america are telling one party, we don't give a damn about you. they are telling the other party you've got our vote. one party knows they've got you under their thumb. the other party knows they will never get you and nobody comes to address your interest. >> all right. that's sportscaster smith. is he right? is it time for african-americans to make a political shift and demand people listen to them rather than take them for granted? kevin jackson is here, the executive director of black sphere and benjamin is here. brian, does steven a.smith have a point? >> he has a point about blacks having their interests met but his argument is not right. the blacks should do what the tea party has done. to for the democratic party through primaries to address interest that matters to african-americans. but i don't believe all blacks are just one group.

we have interests and republicans should look to solve some of those. >> they do vote in a monolithic way. >> you don't have people like rand paul out trying to change minimum sentencing. with cory booker it would be very helpful. >> you're smiling kevin. >> did i just hear a democratic strategist actually credit the tea party. >> i didn't credit the tea party i credit their actions. >> what do you think? >> he's spot on. it's a conversation that's long overdue. look we've given our vote to the democrats for years and that switch happened in 1936. now that we finally are making progress we got the democrats sort of -- we got black people looking at the results of the obama administration, results of a lot of democratic policies that led to things like ferguson and a lot of the inner-city strife we're going through now. this is long overdue. he didn't say anything that we shouldn't have been talking about a long time ago. >> republicans say we'll never

get their votes. i got a bunch of people i can't convince. i can't convince the black community to vote for me. >> if you look on what republicans are focusing on. the republican party has no items on their agenda that african-americans care about. >> that's patently -- i don't want to get into it -- it's not true. >> why? >> first of things that republicans are talking about smaller government education. look at education. >> cutting education. cutting head start. >> the average kid going college right now is reading at a sixth grade level. why should we vladimir putining more money into these policies. what about other slugs. >> school choice. tell me if you agree with this. here the republicans put together a budget for welfare reform and food stamp reform not to hurt any community but to get people, a strategy to get them off of welfare and off of food stamps but they don't communicate that. >> in the voting rights act.

the republican party should have a plan on the voting rights act and petty crime. these are things african-americans care about. there's a lot of african-americans in the criminal justice system. >> petty crime maybe you have a point. when you talk about voting rights we're looking at things as if blacks can't vote. voter i.d. that's like saying you can't fly or these other things. that's not the issue. to brian's point we do need to do something. >> if republicans were smart they would use their stand on illegal immigration these illegal immigrants will get status and take away those jobs. >> brian and kevin thank you so much. enjoyed our time together. coming up a young child threat room just seconds before this happened. >> the boiler exploded and the family had no idea there was any trouble. are there hidden dangers in your

founder of americans for tax reform, the end irs before it ends us, grover norquist. people at the lower end of the economic totem pole need a lot of pep right now because there are 20 new taxes involved with obamacare and those are the people who are benefiting from it. they need help yet they turned off this program why. >> that's a good question. they are shutting down a government program and handing the money over to groups that have worked with the administration politically. it looks like politically connected groups like a.c.o.r.n. but groups like that. a lot of names you don't recognize. there have been studies of some of these groups and they had 49% failure in terms much getting irs material correct when they try to help people. the program was supposed to help people making less than $50,000 a year. you're quite right. new tax burdens on middle income people from obamacare. the administration is being

completely unhelpful to lower income people and then handing contracts out to friends. >> you know what it sounds like, grover. it sounds like the president and his people are going we've only got 22 months left in this job, why don't we go ahead and grease the wheels and help people that helped us in the past. >> that's happened in previous administration and it's not pretty. it is cronyism at its worst. >> one thing you said a moment ago was that some of these groups that the federal government now giving money to these liberal groups to help these poor taxpayers figure out their taxes they have a fail laureate of 50%. okay. what's failure right when you go the irs. it's almost impossible these days to get anybody on phone. >> it's not 50%. it's not what it should be. the irs -- you can say the irs told me this is right as a defense in court because the irs won't back up its own advice or promises to you.

that's how complicated thee code is. >> you told one of our producers if democrats are interested in helping poor rather than using them as a prop this wouldn't be going on right now. >> it's very unfortunate. a lot of rhetoric from the administration about caring about low-income people. this is where you take a look at it and say they would rather play politics with the resources that are available to help low-income people do their taxes, that's not how they are spending their money. >> unfortunately a lot of those people need help and now it's unavailable. >> thank you for getting up early. >> it's ten minutes now before the top of the hour. she was a convicted cop killer but a black student organization wants their college building named after the killer. and their demands don't stop there. they got nine others. then in the market for a new car and want to buy american? we have the top all american rides that she likes coming up.

rent a car then guess how much she paid and guess who is paying her bill? we got a busy two hours left. you're watching "fox & friends" live from new york city. >> hear ye, hear yes, that's the news brian stiles. good save the queen. >> town cryer ever. whatever happened to him? >> he's trying somewhere. looking live up sixth avenue it's the first day of spring. it arrived at 6:45 this evening and, look we are festooned in flowers thanks to some friends. >> gotham flowers and bloomnation.com supplied us with all the colors and fun and 40 grance fragrance. we're on the curvey couch. we might get a few flurries in addition to this. i'm thankful we have the flowers inside. >> attention ceos in new york,

did you see the shot of the street? everyone is going to be late today. >> do you know where everybody is, brian? >> where? >> they're at home watching the "fox & friends" prog making us number one. we've got the news and we're a news channel and for an alert we turn to heather. >> there is a new terror threat for an apparent american isis fighter. the sickening threats on twitter calling for attacks right here on u.s. soil. one tweet reading this veterans, patriot memorial et cetera, go on drive-by-s and spill all of their blood or rent a big truck and drive all over them. kill them. well, this comes as isis now claims responsibility for that deadly terror attack in tunisia that left 23 people dead, 9 people are now under arrest in that attack. and this morning we're learning brand-new information about the cyanide-laced letter that was sent to president obama. a homeless man from the chicago area is now under arrest.

police aren't releasing his name yet, but they say he's been on their radar for a while. at both the fbi and the secret service. they believe he is mentally ill. an initial test of the letter turned up negative for cyanide but a second test came up positive. authorities are now retesting that to confirm. and talk about a really freaky friday, the first day of spring, of course, a rare trio of celestial events happening today. spring equinox begins and that's, of course, when the sun shines directly on the equator marking the start of spring in the northern hem miss fear. boy, we've been waiting a long time for this. and right now a solar eclipse is happening. it's, of course, when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. the bad news, though, we can't see it in the united states, but if you're in denl markmark you can see it. when the sun sets, i love this, the supermoon is gorgeous, it shines very brightly in the night sky. it's when the moon is closest to the earth. but the first day of spring will not be full of flowers.

you are looking at urbana, maryland where the snow is falling. some could see up to 5 inches of snow. how much do you pay for a rental car? nearly 50 bucks a day. how about nearly $80,000? that's what it cost for michelle obama's car across japan. the expense came to light when the government's contract for car rental services was revealed. she's using a car service for a visit to a buddhist temple in kyota and the first lady will travel to cambodia later today and those are your headlines and i'll see you back here in a little bit. a whole lot of dough for that one. >> no kidding. thank you very much. of the first lady's rental car bill. that hurts. >> yeah. >> that a hefty bill. >> gold club member might get a discount. certainly get better service. go right to your car. >> that would be nice. let's talk a little bit

this. yesterday we told you that benjamin netanyahu one prime minister in israel the day before and the president still hadn't called him yet. well, the president did call him yesterday. late in the day. and he said, congratulations. and, by the way, i heard what you said before the election and now the united states is going to reassess our policy with israel. what that means is there's a possibility that the united states will get behind the united nations resolution that says israel's going to have to give up the west bank. go back to those 1967 boundaries. that's something israel does not want to do. it's something the united states never really wanted them to except this administration. >> yeah, right. when they met the first thing the president said about it, if they went back to the '67 borders everything would be final. an eruption from coast to coast but the president and the white house feels bold enough to call out one of our key allies not only in the region but the world and saying almost i'm ready to break up with you. >> this is megan kelly speaking

to benjamin netanyahu and what he had to say about it. >> i think president obama has said time and time again as i've said, the only path to a peace agreement is an agreement. a negotiated agreement. you can't impose it. in any case, you have to get the international community to press on the palestinians to go back to -- go back on their unity pact with the terrorists hamas and come back to the table. i think that you can't -- you can't force the people of israel who just elected me by a wide margin to bring them peace and security to secure the state of israel to accept terms that would endanger the very survival of the state of israel. >> indeed. the new york "daily news" in their editorial page they write this, the dividing lines between israel and iran are razor sharp because for israel they entail very real fears about survival. what side president obama stands on is horrifically in doubt. >> wow. >> the president cut address to

the people of iran on their new year's day essentially saying we could have a whole new dawning of opportunity. >> things are bright. >> and freedom. things are bright. and pressure your leaders to go for change really? the last time they pressured their leaders a lot of people got shot and we did absolutely nothing. >> didn't go well at all. this comes on the same day that benjamin netanyahu received the call from the president finally two days after victory. and he said we're the state most threatened by destruction around the world. he said it's a huge burtden that's why i'm here and elected but our president seems to think it's a great opportunity to kind of reset the dial with deal evidently they are holed up but essentially all sanctions are dropped and a ten and 15-year agreement and france said absolutely not. now there's a temporary impasse. but it is scary to think we're going to drop the sanctions right away and send inspectors

in there with their pocket protectors to go find out where the weapons are. >> yeah. because iran has not been truthful in the past and has not cooperated and now we're left with this. now, you are left this morning with a broken bracket. if as the millions of americans who did you filled out the bracket, here's the thing. espn says that only 0.01 percent of the brackets in the world are still perfect. and it's because of a lot of upsets. georgia state was down by 56-44 with 2:54 left. they rallied back. mostly because of the coach's son. you are seeing the celebration there. if we could rerack that. you see in his son this is every parent's dream that you can imagine. r.j. hunter scored the final points. the deep three would bounce. georgia state wins over baylor by one. final score 56-55. >> yeah. this story right here is the one everybody is talking about for sure. first of all, you've got his coach and then his father who

tore his achilles celebrating earlier and you have his son winning right here and his dad the coach falls off the chair he was sitting on because he couldn't stand because he tore his akellies. >> he's on a roller chair and you see him fall to the court. >> boom! >> he celebrated to the ground. not only did his team win in stunning fashion to the dismay of every expert but his son won the game for his dad. >> great. >> incredible. >> now, i mentioned the -- how many upsets there were. this was one of the big ones because georgia state was 14th seed and baylor was third seed. well, do you know what the coach actually called out the president of the united states yesterday. because he picked the other team and the coach didn't like it. >> hey, obama i hope you make better decisions as president than you did with georgia state.

>> you made the predictions you take off 32 teams and eventually every team. kevin weir you remember the horrific injury when he was playing for rick pitino, two years to get back, but he's back. great year. mvp of the sunbelt tournament. he won the game for them in the conference championship. and there after his leg was just literally broken in half -- >> i remember that video was just so horrific in terms of that break. >> he said the only thing would have been better if i had a chance to beat louisville again. >> right. >> didn't happen. but what a thrill for him. >> he transferred to georgia state last year and he scored two points yesterday. and his team, which was the underdog, won. >> a victory all around. >> what a comeback. >> even if you didn't pick their team in the brackent and your bracket is sort of bruised you're happy because of the personal stories. i love that. >> if you have a perfect bracket, first of all, we'll think you're a liar, but if you do, e-mail us your name because we think you're a genius. >> history in the making six games by one point came out

a black student organization at the university of california berkeley demanding that the university rename a building on campus after a former black panther who is also a convicted cop killer. assata shakur was convicted in the shooting death of a new jersey state trooper back in 1973. she's still on the run probably in cuba. the student group sees her as, quote an icon of resistance. >> we want to rename it someone

assata shakur who we feel represent us as black students. >> really? well, the student group has nine other demands including the creation of an african-american student center and the hiring of black psychologists experienced in racial discrimination. do they have a right to those concerns? joining us is claire kiara she's a junior at uc berkeley and the president of the college republicans. good morning to you, claire. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm doing okay but i'm a little puzzled why these students would want to name a building after a convicted cop killer. >> i am as puzzled as you are. i find it extremely disturbing. i don't understand exactly how this request was even brought to the table to begin with. the grievances voiced by this student group were about underrepresentation on the uc campus. and their reaction to this underrepresentation and their proposed solution is to rename a campus building after -- after a terrorist. after a convicted felon. and regardless of race,

ethnicity, gender or other cultural background, i can't fathom any respectable reason why a publicly funded university in america would celebrate and promote a figure like this on their campus. >> sure. >> i cannot come up with an acceptable reason why this is justified. >> well because the students say she is an icon of resistance. the new jersey state troopers and the fella who was murdered years ago, the troopers put out this statement. there's the fella who died. they say we use state and federal tax dollars to support an institution where a group of extremist anti-american leaning students make an unqualified demand that indemnifies a cold-blooded terrorist using revisionist history to hail her as a hero. claire, let me ask you this. the students say they feel isolated and oppressed on campus. what is the proportion of black students at berkeley? >> the last i heard black

students represent about 3% of our student body. >> okay. that seems like a low number. why is that? >> you know, it's -- it's a difficult question to answer. the reason that they propose is that it's systemic oppression. but most of us are aware of the fact that the uc system does a lot of active recruitment in underrepresented communities and tries to make sure that our campus is representative of the greater demographic of california and even the country. and so the reason why their representation on campus is so low could be them self-selecting out of attendming the university. or it could be simply a matter of not being admitted to the school. it doesn't necessarily mean that the school has a particular prejudice against a group. >> well, the group did give a deadline and an ultimatum to the chancellor, i believe it was a couple of days ago on st. patrick's day. they did not respond. they have not renamed the building. what happens next?

>> you know, these types of student groups, these time of extremist demands -- >> yeah. >> -- are made on the uc berkeley campus more than once a week and oftentimes the administration does ignore it. sometimes the administration davis. i think ultimately the student groups wants their demands met. i don't think that they want to go to battle with the administration that allows them the very ability to try to make these demands and try to enter into these negotiations. but at the end of the day, they're attempting to celebrate someone who is a known terrorist. and they're portraying her as an innocent civil rights leader when, in fact, she is essentially the antithesis of martin luther king jr. and other members of the civil rights movement. people that put themselves in harm's way, people that -- >> sure. >> -- risked their lives in order to change the things in america that needed to be changed and ultimately it improved the course of history. and this woman is the opposite of that. >> right. >> she's not a civil rights pioneer. >> no she's a cop killer.

>> she's convicted of a vile crime. >> absolutely. it's crazy they're asking for that. they're not going to get it. thank you very much. you're the first person up in san francisco this morning where it's 4:20 in the morning. thank you very much for joining us on this friday. >> thank you for having me. >> all right. what do you think about that? crazy, right? e-mail us friends@foxnews.com or tweet us or facebook us. meanwhile, coming mom-to-be viciously attacked. >> she cut me. she cut me in my stomach. >> she cut you in your stomach? >> the attacker stealing her unborn baby but how it all happened is a story with a warning everybody needs to hear. you'll hear it coming up. then it's one of the more popular books out there but how does it work as a movie? kevin mccarthy here with his review of "insurgent." >> living proof.

"insurgent" if you saw the first movie it made $288 million worldwide a huge movie at the box office and they are making a sequel. there's three books and divide the third book into two movies. the idea it's a post apocalyptic world and the lead character are diver gent because they don't fit into certain categories. they're on the run and they try to take down the villain in the movie. the movie itself completely over the top with cgi. looked like a video game in my opinion. that's the biggest problem with movies today they rely so much on cgi it becomes lazy filmmaking. it looks so unrealistic. i don't mind it being used in

certain cases but here it was way too much. the characters look absolutely bored. the movie felt like a -- >> looked bored? >> they looked bored during the movie. i love the characters. >> i'm just telling you right now. you've talked me out of it. >> too much cgi. >> i know. the other thing is the other thing is, it's in 3-d and imax. it wasn't shot in 3-d or imax film and they are charging you an extra $6. i would skip it altogether. it's a two out of five. i like "die ververgent" there's two more movies and i could care less about seeing them. >> you caught up with al pa chino who plays an aging rocker in "danny collins." what did you think about that? >> this is one of my favorite moments of my lives sitting down with pa cheenlecino, and i grew up on "godfather."

one of the cool things he plays a singer in the movie and i was thinking to myself what if he could sing his famous line from "scar face" say hello to my little friend. >> let's watch. >> i knew you were trying to get me to sing that. ♪ say hello to my little friend ♪ >> it's a nightclub and i'm singing. i'm at a piano bar. ♪ say hello to my little friend ♪ >> that's all i need in my life i'm done for the year. that's all i need, mr. pacino. >> that was incredible! >> so happy. >> i know. >> is it a good movie? >> yeah, so in the movie, basically it's a cool story line, a character named danny collins basically 40 years into his career as a musician he gets a letter written to him by john lennon in 1971 that offers him help as career advice and he changes his life. the problem is the script is a little predictable and a little

cliche but overall if you love music it actually features john lennon's music. i gave it a 3 1/2 out of a 5. the best thing we've seen from pa chino in a long time. >> can you bring a kid? >> yeah. i would say it's a pg-13-style movie. i wouldn't go younger kid. >> a street kid. a bowery boy. >> love your interview and the singing, kevin, only you. ♪ thank you kevin mccarthy for that interview ♪ >> ah. >> i was, like -- >> you just cut him off! >> i feel bad now. if we run out of money do we lose the set? >> what did you say kevin at the very end? >> i was freaking out about the interview. it was amazing and so much fun. >> i can tell. no one asks the questions like you do. >> al pacino is still talking about it. >> he had a good time answering the question in song. great work. what's coming up my little friend? >> caught on camera a teacher napping in the middle of class. we're not kidding. what kind of lesson is this for

wedding gown underwater? >> yes. after the wedding always. we've taken wedding dresses into the ocean, we've taken them into swimming pools and all sorts of fun things with them. >> what makes underwater photos so beautiful? >> it's unique and freeing. it's an environment that's completely weightless and you can do so many different things that you couldn't do on land. the hair looks crazy and everyone is having a lot of fun and it brings people back to their childhood days and it expresses all the joy that people are in. >> adam's underwater photos aren't limited to couples, he does families and kids like the adorable ones photoed here, that's me and reed there, but you can check out the full album on friends@foxnews.com. >> with photos particularly before you get married you're worried about your hair in all of them and there your hair is crazy most of the time. >> it is a concern because you head down and you have a set pose that you're trying to achieve and then have that photo snapped and all of a sudden your hair starts drifting forward covering your hair -- your face.

>> but, do you know what, your smiles are so natural because you're having so much fun. >> they're gasping for air! >> i loved it. it was great. >> before the piece your problem would be the contacts so you have to wear goggles. >> reed was worried about them floating away but they stayed on and everything was fine. >> if you're tired of land, don't be afraid to go down under and take a picture that will last forever. >> take the plunge before you tie the knot i love it. coming up i pledge ali janls to allah. students in one school hearing the pledge of allegiance in arabic. the school calling it a learning opportunity. but what is that? is it really a good lesson?

at old dominion, we see freight... ...as a combination of products and customers. every on-time arrival is backed by thousands of od employees, ...who make sure the millions of products we ship arrive without damages. because od employees treat customer service... ...like our most important delivery. od. helping the world keep promises.

take a listen to this, pine bush high school in new york under attack for asking students

to recite the pledge of allegiance in arabic. >> watching the news and stuff, i know that there's people, you know sacrificing, you know, their lives. >> everything that happened was -- between our country and them and then we're saying our country's pledge in their language? >> so there you hear it's not sitting well with students. but the school side is this, quote, our intention was to promote the fact that those who speak a language other than english still pledge to salute this great country, end quote there. was this just an innocent mistake with well intentioned action there? joining me is judy gasper from the american forum for democracy and the author of "battle for the soul of islam." thank you for being here. >> great to be with you. >> is this about enintolerance? >> absolutely not. we have to look at what's happening. we are at war, elisabeth, and arabic is my mother tongue and i love my language and the arabic culture but this is not in a vacuum and they didn't decide to just sort of recite arabic

literature, they're reciting the pledge of allegiance. madge madge been if we had decided to cite the pledge of alilegiance in german. it would have been absurd. again, we are at war against isis, against the islamic state, against radical islam. they use my scripture they use my arabic language in a way that i find offensive, but, you know you have to look at the translation. we would be saying those kids didn't probably know what they were saying, you know, i get it. they were probably well intentioned, but what they were saying in arabic would be lost in translation. it's the exact core of what we're fighting. and we have to understand why americans were outraged. >> you know this is part of a week to celebrate foreign languages. so, you're saying specifically here because the context that we're in includes war, it involves wartime, particularly against isis, are you saying that this is so different than them saying it in french in spanish, in italian and why?

>> it's very different. because we are at war against radical islam which uses the arabic language. let's think about it in arabic, they would have said "under god or under allah" al baghadi is trying to unify the caliphate under that so our muslim youth that might be radicalized their patriots going to fight with isis so the pledge real hill strikes at the core of what we're fighting and, you know, the kids probably didn't know that's what they were wading into. but we have to understand that's why americans are outraged and i think most american muslims and arabs especially would be outraged and said, hold on a sec, multiculturalism is one thing but the pledge is in english. there's a group called the american muslim jurists of america they had on their websites in 2008 don't recite the pledge because it's offensive to muslims et cetera, this is why it should be in english and we should translate it especially against communities or nations we're at war with. >> yeah. it certainly has divided the school and in this time it's a tough topic here.

thank you for your expansionive perspective always on this issue. >> anytime. thanks, elisabeth. >> we'll see you next time. >> yeah. up next me list sa francis will show us how a nickel can be turned into a million dollars. we're going inside fox business. but first on this day in history 1942 world war ii general douglas mccar thur was made famous i shall return with his speech in 1995. dow jones hit a record high of more than 4,000 and in 1964 "she loves you" by the beatles was the number one song in america.

president obama finally picking up the phone to call benjamin netanyahu but it's not what the president said that's making people angry. it's actually who he reached out to right after that that's got you boiling. >> remember convicted skiller scott peterson? remember that guy? what's he doing now and where is that mistress of his? geraldo rivera just talked to her and is here live with an exclusive interview. >> wow, amber frey. you know all her songs. ♪ ♪ sounds plenty sweet to me ♪ >> john mccain should pay for that. dollywood turning 30 years old today. and we're kicking -- what did i just say? >> i don't know. dollywood is 30. >> i forgot what i was saying. >> what are you looking at? >> we kick off the celebration with the music -- with her music. dolly parton will be here. >> the legend.

perfect for you. >> just leave this right over here. >> hero walk that you'll have at home today. >> right. >> i had you in mind. >> okay. while we're enjoying this we'll turn to heather now a lot going on this morning to still give you a fox news alert. >> okay, transition to a serious story. good morning, everyone. hope you off to a great day. i do have the fox news alert to give you. give america what they deserve that's the chilly new threat from an apparent isis fighter. twitter threats calling for attacks on u.s. soil. one tweet reading this veterans, patriots, memorial, et cetera cetera, day parades, go on drive-byes and spill their blood or rent a big truck and drive all over them and kill them. we're learning this morning the two gunmen behind the deadly terror attack in tunisia that left 23 people dead trained in neighboring libya in the months before carrying out that attack. at this hour it's unclear if they did train with isis. but the terror group has claimed

responsibility for the attack. so far nine arrests have been made in tunisia. well, back here at home we have brand-new information about the cyanide-laced letter sent to president obama. it turns out that a homeless man from the chicago area is to blame for that. police aren't releasing his name at this time. but they say they've arrested him -- they've arrested him saying he's been on the radar. both the fbi and the secret service for some time. he's also believed to be mentally ill. and an initial test of that letter turned up negative for cyanide but a second test came up positive. authorities now say they are retesting that to confirm. well, caught on camera the moment a drone flies dangerously close to a news helicopter. take a look. >> we got a drone out here somewhere. >> above airport. got it. got it. look at that guy. he's got to be what, 1,500 feet? >> wow. well, that drone buzzing by just 50 feet from the blades of a helicopter. this was flying over seattle

house fire that helicopter was. well, pilots say that drones cruising that high are extremely dangerous. in part because the vortex that's created by the helicopter's wings, it could have sucked that little drone right into the blades and caused that helicopter to crash. federal law limits drones to fly 400 feet or less. the helicopter pilots saying they thought it was about 1,500 feet. the drone's operator may only face a fine. and talk about a freaky friday, a rare trio of celestial events happening today. as steve was talking about. the spring equinox begins that's when the sun shines directly over the equator and it marks the start of that season in the northern hemisphere. and take a look at this amazing picture from the european space agency. that's this morning's solar eclipse and it ended a few minutes ago. you can see that brian. a solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the suns and earth. remember that from science class? and then tonight there will be a supermoon.

this is so fun to see. it's when the moon is the closest to the earth and it is so beautiful and bright. look at that with the airplane right there. but the first day of spring won't be completely filled with flowers. you're looking at urbana, maryland, where snow is falling right now. millions of people here in the northeast and the mid-atlantic bracing for a snowstorm on the first day of spring. some areas could see up to 5 inches so i guess we can't put away our winter boot just yet. those are your headlines. >> it's still wimtnter until 6:45 this evening. >> hang on to your rubbers. >> keep your shovel. >> what? >> i tried to shift it to the shovel as quickly as possible. >> i have galoshes. >> how is this my lead-in? >> geraldo rivera joins us and he's wearing boots. >> i absolutely left all that behind. >> good morning. >> good morning to uf. >> thank you elisabeth, you poor thing. >> let's talk about the news -- >> give one of those flowers for her. >> i'm trying to switch gears. >> netanyahu won re-election

this week. >> he certainly did. >> the president of the united states wanted another guy. the president took two days to finally call him. and then the president said, hey we're going to reassess our policy regarding israel. >> incredible. >> we might go ahead and have you go back to the 1967 borders. which is going to screw you. >> well, i know that we disagree in a fundamental way about our israel/u.s. policy. we are, you know, dear friends. nevertheless, i think that -- >> the four of us. >> the four of us. but if i were president obama i would have sent bibi netanyahu a congratulatory postcard on a snail mail on a form written congratulations on your recent election. >> why? >> where -- >> is that the classic? >> it is the appropriate thing to do to someone who has absolutely insulted the american constitutional system by coming here uninvited or what we can debate who and how that

invitation was engineered. but it caused a division in the u.s./israeli relationship that has never existed before. >> that's true. >> it has carved the congress of the united states in half. it has in many ways unsettled and made unstable that relationship. and then for bibi netanyahu to run the campaign in a way that i believe was to its core made a racist appeal to israeli hard right voters to come out because -- >> he denies that. >> -- droves of these palestinians are going to vote arabs are going to vote. >> so now we're judging prime minister by how he runs a campaign? >> let's hear from him. he has some suggestions in terms of all of this. >> i have more. >> i think president obama has said time and time again as i've said, that the only path to a peace agreement is an agreement, a negotiated agreement. you can't impose it. in any case you have to get the international community to press on the palestinians to go back

to -- go back on their unity pack with the terrorist hamas and come back to the table. i think that -- you can't -- you can't force the people of israel who just elected me by a wide margin to bring them peace and security to secure the state of israel to accept terms that would endanger the very survival of the state of israel. >> he's absolutely true because you can't deal with hamas anyway. we already know that. >> i sat in this very seat over the years and i looked at that camera and i said that bibi netanyahu told me to my fails that there will never be an independent palestine on his watch. i said it right here. and people said why i was so down and cynical about this process. bibi netanyahu revealed his true self in this election. not only in his -- in his contempt for arab voters, arab-israeli voters, but also with his unequivocal statement that there will never be a two-state solution as long as he is prime minister. he brapged to me, brian, he

bragged to me that all he gave in his first term as prime minister to the palestinians was a casino in this town of jericho. he was so gleeful about that, about how little he has yielded to them. these people have been under -- under occupation since 1967. you wonder why they are radicalized? >> what did they do when they got gaza, they sent rockets in. >> what is gaza? what is gaza? one mile wide strip. it's a prison. >> he justified his position saying the leader of the palestinians made a pact with the palestinian terrorist organization hamas -- >> over 2,000 palestinians were killed in the gaza war. the united nations and every international body has condemned israel for the excessive use of force. >> they wake up in the morning and -- >> hold on a second. geraldo was right. he said we were going to disagree, we disagree. >> you should see my family. my family, this exactly -- we have this conversation. >> you like netanyahu.

>> yes, i like the guy. >> we've been talking about robert durst the cross-dressing heir, the millionaire. >> what a story. a billionaire triple murderer alleged. >> ten years ago scott peterson. >> it was of the 16,000 homicides in 2002 this was by far the one that got the most attention. people were absolutely compelled in their viewing of this. he was a guy who had everything this young beautiful couple, you know, scott and lacei peterson. she was eight months pregnant. they came from wonderful families. loving relationship and what happens? on christmas eve he goes fishing, never really gone fishing before, he goes fishing allegedly. his wife is allegedly snatched. we find out later that her body with the 8-month fetus surfaces exactly where he says he had been fishing. he is revealed to be a murderer. now he has been on death row for exactly ten years. >> wow. >> this week. ten years this week. he's been on death row. he is appealing his death sentence in a way -- in a way

that i think would cause your hackles to rise. he is saying that you need aggravating circumstances to get the death penalty in california. so, he murdered his wife laci, the aggravating circumstance was he also murdered his unborn son connell er conner. his appeal is based on the dehumanizing of his unborn son. i couldn't have killed him, he wasn't born yet. he's making that argument, it's really -- to say it raises the hackles is creepy. >> you talked to amber fray. >> i did. the love interest. the massage therapist from the nearby town surfaced as the lover of scott peterson suddenly we had -- we had a motive. he wanted freedom. he wanted to be with amber and i spoke with amber and here she is -- >> what was your reaction when your friend came to you and told you this is the guy, this is the husband of a missing woman, what was your reaction? >> i would say for a brief time i was in shock.

and -- i couldn't speak. i just -- i mean, i cried at that point. i called -- went into the other room and contacted the modesto police department. >> scott peterson is living inside a single cell, inside north "c." it's the exclusive. it's the best that you can ever hope to serve. >> a sneak peek at your geraldo rivera report. >> living in luxury. unlocked cell door. plays basketball every day with his friends. strums the guitar. >> are you kidding me? >> he lives the life of riley on death row, and it is -- they have cookouts. it is amazingly obscene how luxurious his life and california has not executed anybody since 2006. the odds are he will die of old age living on the taxpayer dime in luxury after murdering his pregnant wife and his unborn son. >> we'll be watching that on saturday at 10:00. >> saturday at 10:00 and sunday

at 9:00. >> thank you very much. >> always spirited. >> i love that. all right. coming up on this friday, a brave soldier fighting for freedom overseas gets a disturbing call from his wife. the repo man showed up. and he's taken all our stuff. sergeant charles beard here to explain the outrageous battle he and others are fighting here at home. stateside. we told you yesterday about a great new reason to drink wine, but you might want to wait before you take your first sip. after all it's 8:13 in the morning in the east. advanced design makes it easy to protect your dog or cat from fleas and ticks. discover seresto. with the performance you expect from topicals in a non-greasy collar seresto provides protection against fleas and ticks for 8 months. seresto.

all right. staff sergeant charles beard was serving our nation in iraq. he was in tikrit when his wife let him know their car was being repossessed and despite a federal law to protect the troops while serving there was nothing they could do to fight it. they had to let it go. join us is charles beard and his attorney sergei lindbergh welcome guys, thank you for joining us. >> how you doing? >> great. sergeant, tell us what happened. you were serving in tikrit, you got a really important job. your wife gets in touch with you

and says your car is being repossessed. bring us back. >> well, at the time i was working in the battle, basically in a common language as a dispatcher for my unit and when i got the call, i was told to call home because she was pretty hysterical. they came to the house apparently and said, look, we're going to take the car or charge you with grand theft auto. and she got worried and gave the car to them. she didn't know what to do. she contacted me. i notified my j.a.g. out there and they sent a letter to them let them know they were in violation of srca act and also my wife at the time she told them that, you know, he's overseas. he's deployed serving his country and they said they didn't care. i didn't fall underneath that act. >> really nothing you could do. the name of the company san tander, right? >> we took them to arbitration and -- >> when did you get involved, sergei? >> around maybe six months later

charles contacted me. relayed the facts. we filed a class action complaint in the federal district court in sacramento and it turned out later that there was an arbitration clause in the agreement so the class action was sent to arbitration. >> right. so, next thing you know you got to get your car back and you had to take a day off from what you're doing in the middle of a war zone to try to get it handled. you add that stress to it. what eventually ended up happening, sergeant, with your car? >> this repossessed the vehicle. >> and when you -- >> they repossessed it. they tried to -- they tried to charge me for the fees for the, you know, to sell the vehicle. and what was leftover from financing and all my credit report was on a repossession. >> you can't rid of that. that's still on your credit report and it's giving you problems still that your car was repossessed. you end up getting reimbursed for the money, correct? over $6000? >> yes. but they actually did take it off my credit report after. >> did they?

>> yes. >> sergei what happens to this company? how do we stop this from happening now from other guys being deployed? >> we bailed them out but who is going to bail them out morally? they're not supposed to do it. it's a 100-year-old law on the books for a long time that says you cannot repossess a car belonging to an active duty service member. it's a criminal offense, it's a civil offense. yet they don't care. they yank the car and leave these guys' families to, you know, essentially without a car. without a means to get around. >> the department of justice did fine santander $9.35 million last month for widespread illegal seizures but when they ran into you, they ran into a buzz saw. thanks for sharing your story. sergeant, sorry you had to go through this. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. meanwhile, moving straight ahead, next on our show two people have never appeared on the same show together in history. chris wallace and dolly parton, will they get along?

before i had the shooting, burning, pins-and-needles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet... ...served my country... ...carried the weight of a family... ...and walked a daughter down the aisle. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda-approved to treat this pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new, or worsening depression or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and my biggest reason to walk... ...calls me grandpa. ask your doctor about lyrica.

you just said that was too early for that, right? >> it's friday. >> time to look at your headlines. it is friday. tgif, thank goodness it's fox. and the headlines are a buzz kill. arsenic in your wine. a new lawsuit claims there are dangerous levels of arsenic in bottles of budget friendly wines including popular brands like franzia and sutter home. winemakers say the suit is misleading. and i love it back in the day. and cans of guinness and some bottles of alcohol will soon come with labels nutrition labels. the company that produces johnnie walker and schmearoff says he wants customers to know what they're drinking. right now labels on alcohol are

voluntary. soon you'll find out what's in guinness. >> after a couple drinks it looks blurry anyway. >> i do know that tequila is good for you. ♪ i could listen to that all morning. we love "straight talk" with dolly parton and she'll give us some right now joining us live, good morning to you, dolly and congratulations the 30th anniversary of dollywood with exciting news for us today. >> well it's very exciting and hello, first of all. >> good morning. >> i love being on your show and thanks for having me. but this is our 30th anniversary. can you believe that? i mean, i just feel like i'm 30 years old. i was 9 when i started it. >> i know, we can tell. we did our own research. >> i know, just like -- it's just flown by but we're very excited. we've got a lot of wonderful things we're planning all year because it is the 30th anniversary. so we've got a lot of great things going on. we're very excited about it so i'm up early getting on with it.

>> i love the fact that families can actually pay in six installments now to get a family pass. they can pay throughout the year. you have more employees seasonally than any company in the area, that's remarkable. and you got new things going on. what else can you tell us? >> actually, one of the things i'm excited about, we're actually celebrating this year more than having just one event, we've got a lot of wonderful things. we've got six new shows for the season but one of the things we're doing is bringing back our concert series. >> excellent. >> it's been ten years since we did that and i'm going to kick that off in august and then we're going to have a lot of famous people and we're going to try to raise a million dollars for the imagination library our literacy program and kenny rogers is going to close it and in between we'll have a lot of folks on. i'll be doing full shows in august. so we're going to be doing a lot of great wonderful things like that. and we've got our new resort opening soon in the midsummer. >> the dreammore resort. we've got a lot of great things going on this whole year. >> we are happy for you.
